She sure is feisty lately.
My assumption is that there's trouble in paradise (i.e. The Ex and Ned are fighting) because The Ex is suddenly firing off messages to Husband and telling him what he's going to do. Wait, no. Trying to tell him what to do. The Ex has a history of attacking Husband without provocation whenever something else is going poorly in her life; in the past, I've been able to match the incidents of her blowing up at Husband to police reports/Facebook posts/whatever else indicating that she and Boyfriend were fighting.
After not discussing her plans, The Ex announced she was dropping off Daughter on Sunday and declared Husband was taking her to her physical. Husband and I have a wedding to attend on Sunday; we're not going to leave our home unlocked all day long. After the incident 2 years ago when The Ex showed up unannounced when we weren't home and in essence told the kids to unlock the house after we explicitly said not to do so, neither of the kids have a key and there is not a spare outside.
Husband was going to ask what time The Ex was planning on dropping off Daughter and explain that we had plans. Before he could, he got a new message on 2houses:
Subject: [Daughters] orthodontist appt. (She spelled out "orthodontist," yet abbreviated "appointment")
"You have the kids the weekend of the 19th. (If you mean August 19th, then yes, we have placement that weekend.) I will be picking up [Son] only on Monday the 22nd. (Okay, thanks for the notice. And I actually do mean that.) You rescheduled [Son] and [Daughters] (I'm not sure why she refuses to use apostrophes. Can she not find them on her keyboard?) orthodontist appt. (Again? Really?) from August 30th to August 25th. (Yes, yes I did. And I told you this on July 20th.) I will be taking [Son] to his appointment that day. (Well, yeah. He's going to be with you.) [Daughter] will be in your care, you'll be taking her.(And here's where she's wrong. She wasted allll this time trying to sound smart and assertive, and she's about to get shut down.)"
So let's recap all of this:

Unfortunately for The Ex, I am smarter than she is and did not schedule the kids' appointments on a date when they would be at different houses. Husband replied that the weekend of the kids' appointments, volleyball practice only went through Wednesday night; that means that The Ex is supposed to have placement after practice, which means she has placement the date of the appointments, which means she is taking both of the kids.
So let's recap all of this:
7/18 - Husband updates the 2houses calendar with all of Daughter's volleyball events, which include showing that practice is only Monday-Wednesday on the week of August 21-27.
7/20 - The Ex schedules the kids' orthodontist appointments for the morning of August 30th. (The Ex did not tell us this, we called the orthodontist's office to ask.) Husband emails The Ex saying that he and I are both working on August 30th so we were unable to take the kids, and that he rescheduled them for a date and time that she had previously requested.
7/29 - Husband updates the 2houses calendar to show Daughter's sports physical.
8/08 - Husband asks who is taking Daughter to her sports physical; The Ex says for the first time that Daughter is being dropped off on Sunday and that Husband is taking her.
8/09 - The Ex emails her intentions for the weekend of August 19th and then announces that Husband is taking Daughter to her orthodontist appointment. Husband says no, Daughter goes back to The Ex on the 24th so she is supposed to be taking both kids on the 25th.
I have two opinions on this. The first is that The Ex is still desperately trying to control Husband and tell him what he's going to do/where he's going to be; she doesn't want to understand that he has not been her spouse for almost 12 years now and he doesn't have to listen to a damn thing she says anymore. The second is that she's trying to force Husband into spending some time alone and face-to-face with her. I trust Husband, but I know her level of crazy and her incessant lying - they'd spend two minutes in a room together without ever making eye contact and she'd go home telling Ned that Husband tried having sex with her.
