All I can say is that "have lunch" is idiomatic. Also, "have breakfast", "have dinner", etc.

"She always tired when she got home" requires "tired" to be a verb and is pretty unusual. It means she went through a process of becoming tired after getting home. You almost certainly mean "tired" as an adjective, describing her state, in which case it must be "She was always tired..."
