I'm in a similar boat only substitute full time girlfriend for full time rock band. I went back to school to accomplish a personal goal. I didn't do it to earn more money, that's not often a problem if you're worth anything in the IT field. I did it for me, it's one thing to say you can do it and another to do it.
I'm one year in now and have one to go. Even though it can be a challenge to juggle work, band, school, and occasional girlfriend, I'm happy everyday that I just made the decision to get back in school.
While it's not for everyone, if you think you can handle maintaining the balance, just do it and stop thinking about it...you won't regret it.
Plus, as a bonus...after you're in school you can justify all those countless hours you spend watching Meet The Parents for the 50th time. How can someone call you lazy if you work full time and are in school...not to mention other activities.
