If you have DrawSomething, hit me up. I’m leftyjenkins on there and everywhere else (WordsWithFriends anyone?).
I don’t have FaceBook, so until they allow me to search for friends through Twitter, I’m a lonely artist.

Imagine what Trayvon experienced before his murder.
A car starts to follow him as he walks through his neighborhood to his house. The car is moving unusually slow. Trayvon becomes nervous and starts to run. After thinking he’s lost the suspicious vehicle, it reappears.
A man exits the vehicle, angry and armed with a gun. He starts yelling. Trayvon’s heart must have been...

Hey, are we allowed to post songs on Tumblr? I was just about to share a song, but then it had that red letter warning at the bottom of the page that scared me a bit. I’m not about to read the entire Terms of Service, so can someone tell me the rules.

I’m reading The Witches by Roald Dahl to my fifth graders. Every time I read The Grand High Witch saying “vitches,” the kids laugh. I almost said something today, but then … it is pretty funny.
Followers are dropping like flies all of a sudden. Wondering if it’s the flood of kids pics I’ve been posting lately or the realization that I’m an atheist. Or neither.
Haters gonna hate, I guess.

The media is thanking its lucky stars for that b&w pic of a straight-faced Trayvon with his hoodie turned up, amirite?

The police moved in and violently arrested lots of protestors. They commandeered city busses to make mass arrests. They set up barricades to keep people out of the area.
One woman was allegedly beaten so badly by the police that...

Why Is My Two-Year-Old Suddenly Not Sleeping... →
What do you do when you need an answer to a question? Did you just google that question? If so, you’re right; you turn to Google.
And Google, in its infinite knowledge, pointed me in just the right direction. It led me to this post from Alphamom.
Here is a snippet from her response to a mom writing to ask why her toddler is no longer sleeping through the night:
