Update:
Sunday after they were gone, DH and I went to get ice cream after dinner. Then we watched TWO movies uninterrupted!
Worked yesterday, and then DH & I sat outside watching chicken TV and the sunset. We still like each other, LOL! Afterwards, we both did our separate things (he watched tv and I played on the computer).
It was really weird washing only two sets of silverware & two plates. It almost wasn't worth filling up the sink for those few dishes. But WHO IS COMPLAINING? Not me!
Thanks for all the ideas!
