I'm sorry. I would be angry and frustrated in your shoes too--especially when, adding insult to injury, first you get Char complaining about not being able to get Tim Horton's Coffee and then no only having George play games in the morning and then being amused by your headache (sorry, that's a smiting offense. Headaches are never funny, no matter what the cause.)
I am running into a bit of that myself, though DB isn't being insensitive at least. It's just that I can't do as much of the housework as I used to and make the progress I need to on my dissertation, so things aren't getting done.
It's hard when you work at home, I think, because it's so easy for the spouse to think, "oh, she can do X, no problem, she's home anyway." It's not that they don't value your work, necessary, or realize how important it is to you, it just that they don't realize how much that cuts into your work time.
I hope you get some sleep. It's always a lot harder to deal with stressful situations when you are exhausted.
