W never said thanks -- I've done it for so long she expects it.
There's the rub.....she expects it. I'm sorry, this is going to sound callous and uncaring toward your kids, but it isn't. Don't do this anymore. If she is going to be the custodial parent then she needs to act like one. If she isn't willing to take just as much time off from work as you are (including the every day shuttling) then she also has no right to be the primary custodian.

If she pulls the crap she did before and leaves her home alone, do I call her on it?
Ummmmmm....the short answer? YES!
No child under the age of 14 should be left alone for more than an hour. Especially a sick child under 14. If your W doesn't get that, she has no business being a parent.
She has to be hit upside the head with reality. Reality is that if she is going to D you then she loses all the conveniences of being M. That includes having a live in flexi-taxi for the kids. You have a life and a career. You have time with the girls that you are responsible for. So does she. If she can't make arrangements to have someone responsible (other than you!) look after them then she will have to leave her oh so precious job and take care of her children herself! (gasp! say it ain't so!).
And yes, sarcasm is my middle name in case you were wondering.
Question - your kids seem to have been sick quite a bit lately. Have they seen a doctor?
