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!

No cocktails tonight…have early commencements tomorrow. Then the champagne will be flowing!
Enjoy your VGNO!! Have a great weekend my bloggy friend.
Greetings from Pepper Anitacocktail! Hope you had a great VGNO!!
Happy belated VGNO!
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.
Awesome – funny how just when we think we’re at our worst, someone will completely contradict that!
Hope you enjoyed your VNO
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!
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.
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
Yes, gotta love barbie compliments! That cocktail sounds awesome …. I’m still celebrating VGNO this morning so happy VGNO!
Here, let me buy you a drink….or 5. LOL
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.
Happy VGNO! Like your blog title – surviving in the suburbs
Happy VGNO!
I am snickering
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
