So remember "Gym Mama?"Well, ladies and gents... She's still around. And still talking. I had to update you on the fact that she literally told me
Which is great!
It will be her and every other little girl in America, after watching Gabby Johnson rock the Olympic's face off. Good for them.
But lady... Quit telling the rest of us about it.
I overheard her talking to our poor instructor about "a plan" to get her baby girl on the right track to the 2024 Summer Games. She kept asking her when she can "move up" and what "is next" for her prodigy. On top of all the Olympic talk, she reminds us other parents weekly how her daughter scares her to death with the "skills" she does at home, and can our children do these same "skills?"

(Hallelujah!)
Mission accomplished. ;-) (insert evil laugh)
