I think you should be there, look smokin' hot, smell good, but be on your way out the door around the same time he is taking the kids. Be cheerful, make it seem like you are really excited about whatever plans you have but be mysterious if he tries to find out what they are. You can always wink and say something like, "wouldn't YOU like to know?" laugh and drive away... Then GAL! Enjoy yourself! It will help you feel good about yourself and that is good for you no matter what. Remember... these techniques are FIRST about you. If you get him to notice you or become curious about you, that is a bonus. But it is not the primary motivation.
