1st Day Of School HaHa!

This is me today (except I'm wearing a winter coat and welly boots)! Thank goodness the girls have gone back to school after the Christmas break.  This may sound mean, and although we had some good times and made some great memories I just can't help being happy that my kids have gone back to school!  

The weather has been absolutely atrocious here in Dorset over the Christmas period and has led to Cabin Fever taking hold in the Prescott residence.  We have tried to get out when we can but when it is cold and pouring down with rain it doesn't leave you with many options does it!?

Well I can honestly say I breathed a sigh of relief when I sent my oldest off to school today, normality has resumed and the routine has begun.  Is it just me or do your children behave better when they have some focus i.e. school and after-school activities?  Of course the routine comes with the daily grind of lunch boxes, taxiing around and work but all in all I like to know where I am, and although it is nice to have the occassional rest, getting back to routine feels good!

American TV - I Miss You!

I have been thinking a lot recently how much I have been missing my favourite TV shows from over the pond (sad I know but I love a bit of American telly). Some of these shows have started airing their new series in the states already but have yet to reach our British shores, it's just not fair!  So here are my absolute favourite American shows which I am pining for right now:

The Middle

The daily mishaps of a married woman and her semi-dysfunctional family and their attempts to survive life in general in the city of Orson, Indiana.

I think this is currently my best-loved TV show at the moment.  It is so funny and you should definitely check it out. 

Nashville

A fading country music star comes into conflict with a rising teen star. 

This show is so good, I love the music and the country style fashion - I'm hooked! 

Greys Anatomy

A drama centred on the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors.

This has been a firm favourite of my hubby's and mine ever since we first found it on our Honeymoon in Mexico.  We had the TV on whilst getting ready one night and the first series of Grey's was on - We've been hooked for eight years!

Modern Family

Three different, but related families face trials and tribulations in their own uniquely comedic ways.

This is very funny indeed and very witty too.  If you like to have a good laugh at family goings on definitely try to catch up on this series.

So that's it, my TV round up...now please I'm begging the powers that be, just update us over in the UK!
