No. And you are not Head of Household. If you are married you need to file a joint return. You can file a joint return even if one spouse had little or no income. A spouse is never claimed as a dependent. When you file a joint return, your standard deduction for a married couple is $27,700 + and extra $1500 for each spouse that is legally blind or 65 or older. That is much better than the standard deduction for head of household --- which is $20,800 + amounts for 65 or older and blind.
The only "credit" you get is the higher standard deduction for legal blindness. Your total standard deduction will be shown on line 12 of your Form 1040.
