My holiday apologies

I might as well I get this all out there and off my chest.  If I don't, it's all going to eat at me.  

• Dear children, I'm sorry our lives are busier right now.  I know you don't understand all of this and I know you say you are "proud of me", but I know life is different for you and it's not easy.  Maybe some day you will understand.  I'm doing the best I can right now and am doing my best to make this holiday season, like previous ones, a memorable one, despite the hectic schedules.  Thank you for reminding me that your laundry needs to be done because I'm doing a lousy job of keeping up. 
• Dear husband, I'm sorry our lives are more confusing and I didn't do this when I was younger.  If I had, this craziness wouldn't be affecting our family life at such a busy time like the holidays.  
• Dear mother, I'm sorry I am not as available as I used to be.  I'm sorry MY schedule has been busy and has not allowed us to travel to you as much as you would like.  I would much rather have some flexibility in my life than be studying so much right now.  I know you think I'm being a perfectionist and I don't have to study like I do, but I need to study or I don't retain the information.  I know you don't get it, but you never have.  In your eyes, I'm just a perfectionist.  
• Dear friends, I'm sorry I am not as available as I used to be.  I rarely have opportunities to talk to many of you right now, never mind get together.  I'm sorry and do plan to catch up with you when I am on break from school.  
• Dear children's teachers, I didn't put a ton of thought into your holiday gifts this year, but it will be chocolate so I hope that makes up for it. 
• Dear gift recipients, I think I'm putting a lot of gifts in bags this year.  Sorry for my lack of creativity.  I have to save what's left of my creativity for my final project for one of my classes.  I'm tapped out right now.
