J9, I guess I left out that she was at the old house working too. She was inside, she had been doing a lot of detailed cleaning, and then shampooing the carpet. So it wasn't like she was sitting eating bonbons. Her and my D left about 10:30pm to head home.
She was feeling it to, and already in bed. I am not making excuses but it wasn't a situation that where the request was unreasonable.
I really like what Mach said about teaching people how you want to be treated. I like your hug and something to eat idea....but in the past if she asked if needed anything in those situation, I would have angrily snapped at her that I was fine and could get a bowl of cereal.
