Burning the candle at both ends.
Doing too much
Playing with fire.
Doing something dangerous.
Missed the boat.
Missed an oportunity.
Like trying to swim upstream.
Really difficult or frustrating.
A chip off the old block.
Putting the cart before the horse.
Doing things in the wrong order.
Barking up the wrong tree.
Making a mistake.
Jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Doing from bad to worse.
One in a million.
Really wonderful.
On her last legs.
Very tired.
H~.'say!ng embariassing thin'g~.",<Putting his foot in his mouth.
Saying embarrassing things.
Looking out for number one.
Thinking only about himself.
Head and shoulders above the rest.
The best.
Off the hook.
On the tip of my tongue.
An idea that is not in words.
Beating around the bush.
Speaking indirectly.
Taking forever and a day.
Taking a really long time.
All in a day's work.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
All in the same boat.
In the same situation.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Forgeting something you really don't see anymore.
Looking for a needle in a haystack.
Doing something difficult.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Accomplishing two things at once.
Jack-of-all-trades.
Accomplished at many things.
Like two peas in a pod.
Exactly alike.
Between a rock and a hard place.
Without any good options.
