I have a raging headache. I've dragged myself on this school trip. Who starts a field trip at 8:20 am anyway..school starts at 9am and that's early enough for this house.
We are rocking and rolling on the dreaded school bus. Kids are whooping it up. Yelling, laughing, singing, having a grand ole time. My head continues to pound pound pound. I feel like crap, hate the sweater I'm wearing, forgot lipstick and am pretty sure I am having one of my worst hair days ever. But I am here for my kid.
SweetGirls best friend reaches over the bus seat to touch my hair and says:
"You look like Malibu Barbie today"
LOL. Well that made me laugh, cause Barbie I am not. Gotta love that kid. Maybe kids can see us for who we are, not who we aren't.
Thanks little friend, I'm embarrassed to admit it, but you made my head feel a wee bit better.
Now for a drink to celebrate my first ever virtual night out and to match my new Malibu Barbie Status!

I hope your head feels better, and KUDOS for surviving the school trip. I went on a few, not really my thing, but I was there for Tara! We had one field trip that we left the school (elementary) at 6:30 and didn't get back until after 7:00pm. Now that was a long day!
Malibu rum and pineapple or papyra juice is one of my favs. Yum!
Hey I have a giggley post on my blog too.
Welcome to vgno.
Happy VGNO -- Passing by everyone to say hi while my little one is asleep -- he is still sick!
I am sitting her for a while listening to your song -- love it!
I hope you feel better! Happy VGNO!!!
Oooh...I love Barbie and coconut rum:-) Thanks for the recipe. Feel better and have a great weekend Malibu Barbie!
Cool barbie pic. Brings back memories. Happy VGNO!
Malibu Barbie! Omgosh... what a compliment. Yeah, you gotta love kids.
I was able to get Britney. Wasn't easy though. Trying to find an appropriate picture of the girl was a little hard to do!
Happy VGNO!
That sounds better than my drink. TRADE NOW! :) Happy VGNO.
What an awesome compliment - and you know they say 'out of the mouth of babes', so there must be some truth to it! ;)
Hope you're feeling better - that drink sounds YUMMY!!
Happy VGNO! :)

You follow me... I follow you...
Woo hoo!
So cute...the Barbie comment...gotta love those kiddos. I hope you feel better...my biggest fear in life? Having to get on another bus for a school field trip. I would much rather go to the gyno and the dentist...at the SAME TIME. I have done the field trip thing....but I skip the bus now...I have learned.
take care my Barbie friend.
I'm now following your blog thanks to VGNO, don't you love it?
out of the mouth of babes! lol
I would never choose to be Malibu Barbie, but I'd certainly take it as a compliment from a little one. glad your day turned around
Happy VGNO!
I am snickering
Happy VGNO! Like your blog title - surviving in the suburbs
Wow, all I've ever gotten is "Sydney's Mom, um your hair is really CRAZY." or "Sydney's mom, you have a lot of makeup on today, WOW."
Kids are bastards.
Here, let me buy you a drink....or 5. LOL
Yes, gotta love barbie compliments! That cocktail sounds awesome .... I'm still celebrating VGNO this morning so happy VGNO!
Ooh I want to be Malibu Barbie too. Life just isn't fair sometimes!! Yeah it's funny how the little things can make your day!
And that drink sounds just like a Pina Colada - yum my favourite. I'll drink to that! x
Just getting around to the comments from last night. It was my first VGNO. I love the recipe, will definitely try. Thanks for stopping by.
Malibu barbie! Lol!
Happy (late) VGNO! Sorry I'm so behind....we're babysitting a baby at our house for 10 days and it's totally thrown my schedule off track!
Awesome - funny how just when we think we're at our worst, someone will completely contradict that!
Hope you enjoyed your VNO
A school trip with a headache. Yeah, you must've needed the rum. I do right now, and all I did was cook all day.
Happy belated VGNO!
Greetings from Pepper Anitacocktail! Hope you had a great VGNO!!
