Confessions of a Homeschool Dad

The Best. Diet. Ever!
Now, before you get too excited, I don't mean "the most enjoyable". I just mean that it is surprisingly effective.
About a week ago, I was playfully wrestling with my kids. And, as you know, it was all fun and games until Daddy got hurt. One of my kids threw her head back when she was laughing and trying to get away. Of course, her head smashed right into my face.
Overall, the injury factor was pretty low. Mostly, it was my lip that got gashed on my teeth. It bled a little bit, but no big deal, right?
Well, flash forward a week and it started to swell on the inside and it's rather sensitive. It's also positioned such that I can't really avoid it hurting as it rubs against my teeth.
As if that weren't bad enough, eating is a new experience in pain. It seems that every piece of food I eat has something to make the open wound feel like someone is running a very large needle through my lip. Repeatedly.
Cold water? ouch. Ketchup? Ouch! Salad Dressing? OUCH!
So, basically, rather than eating until I'm full, I eat until I have enough food in me that it's not worth the additional pain to get more food.
I wouldn't call it a pleasant experience, but it IS the Best. Diet. Ever!
I recommend it to everyone!
