Family cold

It just figures that everytime one person gets sick, the rest of the family isn't far behind. Abigail caught a cold and sure enough, not even 24 hours later, I had the same thing. Usually, DH is behind by at least a few days. Why can't these things just be quick, too? Our last cold lasted well over a week. This one started on Tuesday and it's Saturday, and still going full force. I wish we would get a little bit of a break too, it hasn't even been 2 months since our last one. It could be a long winter...
