Florida law does not give your landlord the right to enter your house whenever she wants. Unless the lease gives your landlord some right to enter your property, you have the exclusive use of that property.
It sounds like your landlord's actions fall within "unlawful entry," governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 82. They may also constitute criminal trespass or burglary.
I suggest that you send a trespass notice to your landlord (you can find a form by searching for "trespass notice in florida") and then call the police if she does it again.
