hair on fire
A state of being super busy or overwhelmed. When your hair is on fire, you are consumed with reacting to an emergency and have not time to deal with ankle biters.
Example:
It was one of those hair on fire moments where everyone and their brother was requiesting things from me at the same time.
Do you need help? it looks like your hair is on fire.
I am sorry I didn't call you back; my hair was on fire at work.
