Those who work in e-Commerce have two things going against them:
1. Results are so instantaneous, we can rarely step away.
2. We love what we do.
So, how consumed are you in your work? How many hours/week do you guys work?
I work about 50-55hrs/week and I'm getting the sense that I may be on the light side of the spectrum.

Well, I do the typical 40 at TAPCO and then anywhere from 5-15 hours on my own site. So I'm right there with you. I find it a lot easier to step away now than I did at first.

Since my ecommerce site is not my mortgage payer I don't spend all that much time on that site but I do spend 40 - 50 hours a week on client's sites.

I don't spend as much time on my own sites as I used to. Only about 1/2 or 2/3 as much. But I spend more on experimentation and self-study than ever before.
One of the hazzards of being "professionally idle". :D

"Professionally idle"?! You make me fear retirement.

Don't fear it, embrace it. To do what you want to do because you want to do it is a blessing.
