Bored & Lonely but haven't organised anything, again!

Anyone else got so used to not socialising that now we can they forget to organise anything?

I'm really bored but also struggling a bit with loneliness. I don't think it's helped by DH having to work most weekends.

I work during the week and he is in a band so there's been lots of weddings sometimes 2 a weekend which means he is often out from early afternoon on a Saturday to 2am on the Sunday. It just feels like one long round of work or childcare for both of us.

We have 3 children the youngest is 5 and very lively eldest is 14 and just wants to do her own thing most of the time.
It's hard to do things with DS in tow as well as typical 5 year old he's impulsive and needs a lot of supervision. Or if I did book something it would be child related and £££

So how do I get out of this bored and lonely rut? is everyone's weekend like this with kids and I'm expecting to much? I know it gradually got easier with the other two.
I am going to start getting organised and asking friends to do something but have no idea what normal is (grow up in a chaotic household).

Do your dc do any weekend activities? Morning football might be a good way for your youngest to burn off some energy... consequently making the rest of the day easier for you? I always tried to get them to do something energetic early on in the day.

Even simple things can kill some time. Walk to the shop and let them choose a magazine each.
