Is it Mara that keeps us away from the practice, when many things seem to be more important than a deeper meditation practice?

Sometimes I have no problems meditating when I am keeping with a regular routine. I realize that I am much more centered when I do that, much more content with myself and with the world. But then, every other month, something happens that totally draws my attention to external sense stimuli. And then sometimes I drop my practice for weeks or months at a time. It's almost like I enjoy the rollercoaster ride. It's like I'm addicted to the feeling it evokes and I realize that, if I meditate, I get into this quiet calm, which is much better. But once I'm on the rollercoaster, I feel like I can't think about that.
