Sean's right.....(really?)
You're merely experiencing the phenomenon most commonly known as "Priority Shift". When Nat and I bought our first house it was a fixer-upper and we had a 3 yr plan on turning it for big profit. We had no children at the time and I seemed to have time to not only remodel the home, but build on my Jeep, fab bumpers, perform tranny swaps, fab stuff for others......enter the scene, Mason.
Suddenly I was spending less time in the garage, less time on the remodel and more time with my new addition......gasp! A short 2 years later Kylee arrived and free time went from occasional to sneak in an hour here and there on home and Jeep projects. Oddly enough, things that seemed so important and at the top of my priority list pre-kids were now moved to over to the list of things I'd like to accomplish someday in the near future.
Fast forward 8 years. Mason's getting big enough to help me on project and loves to work with me on our new home and on the Jeep. Both kids love to get out on the trail and wheel and now it's become a family affair instead of dad's hobby.
Welcome to parenting Andy, cherish the time you have with you family and keep it a priority, the projects eventually get worked in......takes more time to get them done now, but the most important thing you can do is be there for your wife and kids. Before you know it, you'll be working on projects with a little Jeeper on a creeper next to you..........
