Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time?


As I went to the basement (i.e., listening room) the other day, I happened upon the Hem "Departure and Farewell" lp leaning up against the LSA Statement amp. I had been testing whether I could get rid of a slight distortion I was hearing through the VPI HW-19 Mk 4 turntable -- testing back in late August. 

I hadn't really made the time for any serious listening since then. Is this normal? I have two children - a 3- and a 5-year old, and a full time teaching job. So my evenings are filled and by 10 pm I'm ready for bed.

Has anyone else ever NOT listened to music via their system for a while? If so, why?

For the last year I guess I turned my system on nearly a dozen times - sad but true. The reason is I'm living in a small apartment and I have a one year old baby. The living room, where the audio system is, is the place where the baby (and everyone else) spends most of the time. There is no chance of listening to music on a proper way. Anyway, we have plans to move to a bigger house where I can have my own space - my man cave!
In the meanwhile, I've been upgrading the system and buying music as an investment for my near future. And I've been listening to new music a lot more through my headphones on my way to work (Radio Paradise is my companion along the rides).
