New Sit-Com Working Class

I got a chance to see clips of a new sit-com series and I was sold. This new series is the first scripted sitcom of CMT, named Working Class. The story is about a single mom, Carli Mitchell (played by Melissa Peterman), from a rough and tumble background, trying to give her 3 kids a better life by moving them to an upscale suburb. Her transition to "the good life" is much harder than she thought. There are so many going around her: her cranky neighor, Hank (played by Ed Asner), who is also his coworker; her boss Rob (played by Patrick Fabian) who she falls for has a girlfried; her little brother Nick (played by Steve Kazee) help her out to raise the kids. Carli faces the challenges of parenting, dating and making friends in the new community.

Carli is a sweet woman who works hard and stay true to herself. People around her like her and she is a wonderful mom who does all for her kids. I feel some kind of connected to this character although she is 10 times more beautiful than me, our will to fight for the best for children is the same. Also, both Carli and I are working mom, we are both "working class".

The first episode of Working Class will be screened on January 28 at 8:00pm ET/PT. Then the all new 12 episode series will be followed at 8:30pm ET/PT. I know that I'm not going to miss it and I hope that more people would love Working Class like me. I want to see how Carli's family doing and see the kids growing up.

媽媽你老

仔仔今日突然話「媽媽你老」,當下真是有點不快。是的,媽媽真的老了,比起其他年輕媽媽,我真的明顯不青春了。我問仔仔「媽媽老了,你會照顧媽媽嗎?」仔仔就:「Yes, I will take you to see the doctor. I will tie up your belt.」心中有點不明白,我再問仔仔:「What belt?」他說:「You would sit at the back」原來他是指車上的安全帶seat belt。我再問他:「Are you going to drive me there?」他點頭說:「Yes.」當下我說他乖,心中真的有無限喜悅,這個孩子真的很窩心。
