If you're dreading the alone time, maybe you could invest it in coming up with a flexible GAL plan for those weekends you don't have the kids. Could you plan ahead for a few weeks, booking in stuff with friends? Or maybe look at something more regular to link into? I volunteer at a charity bookstore and my 'regular' shift is once a week. But if I have no plans at the weekend, I tend to 'drop in' and do a couple hours for them, which helps me. If you have things like that 'on the go' it can really help those weekends...
