Coincidence??? Random illness??? Evil scheme??? You tell me...
Here's my story. On occasion, my ex and I have been know to spend time together. On occasion, we actually even enjoy one anothers company. So, on occasion we'll grab a bite to eat or take the girls out to do something fun. No biggie...
Now, rewind about a year or so. We just left the court house after establishing our initial child support order. On the way home, he offers to buy dinner. He of course adds that it'll be the last time he'll ever be able to afford to buy me dinner because he'll be poor once the support order kicks in. ;) Funny, eh? ha ha ha... So, we enjoy a nice dinner at Applebee's. It was sooo good. We laughed, goofed off, etc. Normal stuff. Normal evening follows. Then, out of no where, smack in the middle of the night, I jump up... sick as a dog!!!!! I was violently ill!!! I mean 100% VIOLENTLY ill. I burst blood vessels in my eyes. I had little red vessels showing all over my face. I really thought I was dying!!! Common sense tells me... food poisoning. WOW. That's some NASTY STUFF... stuff that I had hoped to NEVER again experience. I will tell ya, once I was better, the ex did get quite a chuckle out of my "last meal" making me deathly ill.
Now, current day. Last night, he picked the girls up from school and daycare. They spend some much needed time together. The girls are thrilled. They decided to wait for me to get home from work to have dinner. So, after much debate, we decided to go out for dinner. We went to a nice new buffet style restaurant in Collinsville. It was good. I didn't over eat... I had a small piece of steak, a loaded baked potato, a roll, and a small piece of chocolate chess pie. THAT's it!!! We had a nice dinner. We laughed, goofed off, the kids behaved... etc. Then... drum roll please... about 11pm, my stomach cramped, then ached. Next thing I know, I'm curled up on my bed crying, rocking back and forth trying to make the pain stop, confirming w/ my daughter that she knows how to call 911, just in case something explodes. Then, here it comes... violent illness. No red eyes or broken blood vessels this time, but it was NOT a pleasant experience.
So, now, I'm getting a complex. I'm thinking it's all a part of his evil scheme. Is it just a random coincidence that the 2 times in my life that I get violently ill follow a dinner with my Ex. HUmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... What are the chances????? I'm suspecting cyanide... LOL.
*****Side bar****** I don't really believe he would poison me... I KNOW it was random coincidence. I just think it's a funny coincidence. Not to mention, he's had MANY opportunites in between these two episodes to "get" me. LOL.
