“I’m just the mom,” she said of how her kids view her. “When I’m gone, I’m missed, when I’m there, I’m annoying, and that’s exactly the way it should be.”
When asked if her kids think she’s cool, theSpeedstar immediately answered, “No, not at all. Not unless I bring home some kind of treat. Last night I came home with donuts. I was so incredibly cool at that moment!”
“I love who they are,” she continued. “Every day I get to see who they are. I am one of the lucky individuals that gets to be around my children all the time and see who they get to grow up and be. And who they’re growing up to be, I couldn’t be more proud of.”
