I am getting crazy traffic on my kids and teens sites, could someone tell me if kids are back to school today in the US? Trying to figure out what is happening
Nope, kids are not back in school for another week. (we get right before Christmas, the week before New Years, and the week after New Years off). [my school actually gets more because I'm at a university, but that's for normal schools]
Weird... here everyone is back to normal life today. But I just sent an email to an affiliate network in the US and got an out-of-office reply saying that they won't be back to work until tomorrow... wonder why
Today is also considered a holiday and most businesses are taking it off (I know my dad's company is taking it off). Because yesterday was Sunday and a holiday, I guess they bumped it up a day to give everyone the day off still.
Most offices are closed today in the US (and many were either closed the entire day, or half the day on Friday). However, for retail stores and food services, that's another story ... Why? I'm not about to argue that I should go in to work today instead of getting a vacation day. Might just be how New Year's falls this year. EDIT: fs beat me to the punch. That's what I thought - where it falls this year.
Neither here nor there because we're not in the US, but kids here do not go back until the 9th! Strewth! I love my girl but I'll be one happy mama when the little time-sponge goes back to school. There's only so many times you can paint your face, play kid's jigsaws, fix broken Christmas toys and watch bloody Barbie Pegasus, YKWIM?
My daughter is in preschool and she's back to school this week, so I assume that's true for all the kids in this area. They only do a two week break for Christmas/New Year around here.
Not here in the Ottawa Valley - they didn't get out until the 23rd and they don't return until next Monday (the 9th).
