Okay - here's the deal:
1) This is not necessarily about you taking your family to the airport / or other favor
2) This is not necessarily about lost time on the weekend
Your wife is not feeling appreciated / Loved / special at the moment. Men and women just don't think the same way, we are wired differently. Your wife (and most women) are not going to give you a direct request - life's tough now, I really need you to make me feel a little special right now. However she wants you, as her other half, to know that and to come to her emotional rescue without having to give you the direct request.
She's not looking for a trip or some time on the weekend - she wants you to let her know just how special she is to you. She is looking for your emotional support / time / attention until she feels better about whatever is happening in your lives right now. Make an extra effort to find out why she feels down and don't try to 'Fix It' but try to help her figure it out and be supportive. Let her know you care and are there for her.
Best of luck!!!!
I'm in my 33rd year of marriage and still get caught in the same scenarios from time to time. Its just part of being a guy ...
