Friday 12/21/12. Day 1
Early dismissal day @ school. Every school district in NJ observed a moment of silence at 9:30 am for the students and faculty members who lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday 12/14/12. I had a class of 6 & 7 year olds with severe behavioral issues at that time. Their silence was uncanny. The only sound in the room was made by the various the teachers & aides who were quietly sobbing. It was pretty emotional for all of us.
Going home to finish packing and start the first leg of our trip could not come soon enough! Mickey (my partner of 27 years who just happens to share a first name with our favorite Mouse!) and I drove up to the Borgata Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City to spend the night so we would only have a 10 minute drive to Atlantic City International Airport in the morning. That turned out to be a magical decision, because I won $400 on the first poker machine I played after dinner. I cashed it out and went right to bed, visions of Mouse Gear dancing in my head!
