Working Overtime In Service To Her!

Lately the truth that most men need to spend more time actually SERVING Their Woman Lords and less time indulging themselves in idle time wasting has come home more to me than ever! And I think this even applies to most guys who consider themselves in a Female Led Relationship.

I don't recall where I read the following but I think it was in reply to a FLR posting. It has rattled around in my head for some time and has truly germinated lately. It, in a word "inspires" me.

"In the past, men were always required to work 12 hours a day in hard labor 6 days a week. Farmers worked in their fields and barns from early morning till late at night daily to provide for their wives and children. You have the comfort of your wife's home to continue your work before you need to go to bed. Why are men in our society reluctant to do their job?"

Now I know this sounds more like a full time 24/7 FD slave/mistress relationship than anything realistic but it still 'rings my bell'. I mean why shouldn't a man go to work for eight hours to provide for his Queen and then continue that service in more personal ways that she actually sees the results of? Why shouldn't the average man put in an hour or two each evening cooking, cleaning, repairing, maintaining, planning, straightening, etc?

There Is No 'free time'....
Now That you Are Married, There Is Service Time And Wasted Time.

My standard routine for some time now, has been to get up on Saturday and after a few minutes of checking emails and eating, I generally cleaned house until I dropped in mid afternoon! After several hours of sweeping, and laundry and dusting, and wiping, and scrubbing, and well you know (OR YOU SHOULD KNOW!) general cleaning up I would be exhausted and take a shower and a nap. 

Often I had little energy to offer on Sunday to supplement the efforts I had made on Saturday even though I always seem to plan out more cleaning than I can physically accomplish in one day and always PLAN to do the handful of final items on the next day. I began to think "If only I could do that for TWO days each weekend! Then the house would sparkle!" But I never seemed to get there except on the rare occasion.

It always amazes me how far from the level of cleanliness I had left the house on Saturday that it had naturally degraded itself to by the following Saturday. We are currently just two people living normal (whatever that is) lives. We are not by nature messy people. We pick up after ourselves. 

And yet the house just gets dirty in 6 days. There is dirt on the floor. The kitchen and bathroom counters need to be washed. There is a MOUNTAIN of laundry. Dust falls without ceasing. Etc...

Housework needs to be approached like a marathon.
Don't sprint, but don't stop moving either.

I have kind of reached the point of wondering if one person CAN keep a house clean! 

So starting earlier this week in an effort to keep things at a higher level of cleanliness for Her Royal Highness, I have re-dedicated myself to living up to that old fashioned (new sissy hubby) standard of coming straight home from work, changing my clothes and putting in a solid hour or more of service oriented work BEFORE I begin to relax!

Most of this work will be housework, although other projects can take a front seat depending upon circumstances. Paying bills, helping her with various projects she is working on, grocery shopping, etc.

The plan for me is to do some worthwhile service work each evening for at least an hour so that the house does not run down hill all week and require a single Herculean effort on Saturday that basically makes me worthless afterward. Hopefully, this will also allow me to accomplish more over the week and have more energy to tackle longer term projects.

I was at the point of thinking that maintenance cleaning alone (coupled with a forty hour a week job) was all I could do. I WANT to keep the maintenance cleaning at a high level AND start to really do the DEEP cleaning that she deserves to have done for her.

I think that if I spread out the maintenance cleaning through the week nights, I may be able to tackle a few bigger projects on the weekends now.

Wish me luck!
