sounds like she is being thoughtless and has no plan of what to do, where to go and perhaps wants you to get the unpleasantries done (maintenance on the vac. home, selling the car).
Concerning the girls, you might want to draw the line somewhere, she has the duty of telling you when/where the kids are going/how they are doing. Do you guys have a schedule as far as holidays and when you have the girls? however long this sitch is going to go, you and the girls deserve some normalcy and routine concerning when you see them.
Sadly, you have to put your expectations at 0 about her being considerate and make a list of the things to do at the vac home and leave her a phone msg letting her know what is to be done and a time frame of when they have to be done, same with the car, those loose ends are going to drive you nuts later otherwise.
