Kicking myself.  I guess I know it's totally pride and selfishness and arrogance that demands appreciation.  So hard to remember that.  I'm trying to remember to do things, not for man- but for the Lord. And I know when my heart is right there I won't be angry about not being appreciated or not being helped.  I'll be doing it all for right reasons...  And, probably the best thing is that I will be able to do it all with joy. Instead of annoyance and frustration and anger because I feel like I deserve better treatment. Basically, it seems like I'm not happy either way.  I want to find the joy in serving others- and forget about my stupid pride.  Ugh-feeling pretty frustrated.
