When Everything Is Clean

When everything is clean in the house I feel so much better. I got a lot done tonight because I just don't feel tired... probably has something to do with the two naps I took today. I got dishes done, laundry and scooped the cat litter. I feel like mornings that I wake up to a clean house are just so much more relaxing. I wish there was some way to change my habits so that as soon as I get done using something I could put it back into its proper place.
I have always been horrible at cleaning as I go. That was the main problem when I was a waitress too; cleaning as I go. Then when I was a waitress at Folks in Georgia it was called "pre-busing". You had to ask the guests at your table "May I clear any of these dishes out of your way?". One reason was so that there wouldn't be a ton of things to clean once the guests finished their meal. The main reason for pre-busing was actually psychological believe it or not. When the guests are surrounded by dirty dishes at the end of the meal they are less likely to order dessert because they are visually reminded by how much they just ate and spent. When people order desserts it ups the price of the meal and thus ups the 15% of the tip on the total they (should) receive.
I do pretty well at keeping Adelina's room clean. I think it is because I feel so bad when it is a wreck and she can't clean it herself. I almost feel as though I am being disrespectful to her or something... its weird. I tend to clean more at night like tonight. Jesse hates this because at night time he just wants to relax. I have always been a night owl I guess that is why I am up at 3:47am! I should get some sleep.
