I am somewhat overdue to make a post, so I think I will explain my reasons and discuss my job. The Principal's job is never complete. It seems that everyday is completely full of tasks that require my attention. This in combination with my meeting schedule often makes the job seem impossible. I arrive most days by 7:30 and work until around 5. I rush home and grab a bite to eat with my family and return for supervision of athletics or another function. When I get home usually after 9, I can only shower and try to unwind. I find myself not sleeping due to the amount of stress I have encountered during the day. Shortly after I am able to fall asleep, the alarm rings and the days starts all over again.
I am not complaining since this is my job, and I love it. I just wonder how it effects my overall health. Case in point, I was not ADD or ADHD until I became an administrator. Now I find myself wondering about a problem or test scores. I am just looking for some amens about this crazy but wonderful job.
