To feel like I'm just failing?

Bit depressing but change from election threads..

Am I the only one who feels as if they are the complete and utter opposite of 'together' and 'successful adulting' and all that crap? On the outside, I have a successful, high-powered job, a lovely home, four beautiful children and a loyal partner.

Yet there are days when I feel less 'together' than I did at 16. Take today for example, a day on which I:

  • went to put on my best black blazer for an extremely important meeting this morning, saw it had a tomato soup stain on the lapel and licked it off
  • drew a picture of my boss and scribbled over it so hard the paper ripped because he slightly pissed me off
  • sat in Tesco car park after work eating a 5-pack of huge chocolate chip cookies in one go
  • teared up at the office photocopier because I printed 40 double-sided sheets which should have been single-sided
  • teared up again when 'When We Were Young' by Adele came on the radio as it reminded me of my ex-boyfriend from my twenties

Any similar failures at being a successful adult or just a massive hand hold, in fact would be much appreciated.
