I used to enjoy going on my landscape photography trips, shoot weddings, portraits, and enjoy reading web sites.
That all changed once I got married earlier this year. Now, I've got two stepchildren and a mortgage. I spend over 3 hours a day on a train to-and-from work and it's doing my head in. I haven't picked my camera up since March to do anything meaningful with it. Although I had automated my backyard observatory, I felt guilty with all the time I was spending in front of the computer doing the processing. The poor wife was so understanding, but, I just felt so guilty that I wasn't spending enough time with her.
I've resigned myself to a simple life now. Especially after the news of my camera is going to cost me $3,600 US to get the sensor replaced.
Can't wait to move back to Canberra in the new year. At least I won't be wasting 3+ hours a day commuting.
But, yes, I am like you, I just have no time for anything anymore.
