Sick but not down

The girls are unwell, the normal cough and cold. Since I had been their only caregiver for the previous few days, it's only a matter of time I catch the bug. Sometimes I may be lucky and get spared but not this time. I had 2 late nights. Out of the 10 times I sleep late, the one time I do so and then fall ill, I get blamed. Since young, whenever I fell sick, my parents never blamed me. Why should they when a bug hit me. The 'finger-pointer' claimed that because I lacked sleep, hence more susceptible to falling ill. Everytime I am unwell, I get blamed and accused of inconveniencing others. This is when I don't even get extra rest and carry on with my routine unlike some others who can sleep the duration of their illness and say they fall ill despite taking precautions (therefore not their fault!). This world can be so unfair at times.
