As one who has "been there, done that"
I can totally emphathize with your situation.
I've whole weeks where I come home from work, after commuting through a solid wave of bumper-to-bumper traffic, where the computer is the last thing I want to get in front of - so I don't.
I'm here at lot less because of time constraints: work, participating with my son in Boy Scouts, father/daughter stuff in Girl Scouts, etc., etc. A lot of evening time has become reading about how to progam in ASP.Net and HTML because daytime is reserved for doing actual work. But the good news is that my first true project has gone beta with a customer for actual user testing, and so far the feedback is very positive.
Hang in there. Visit here as time permits.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
