Normal service will be resumed

Earlier this year I was looking forward to a nice, relaxing summer break when I could dedicate myself to nothing more arduous than going to the beach. Instead, my house has been turned upside down by builders, electricians and tilers, and I haven't been able to blog as often - but "normal service" should be resumed next week.

We're up to our eyes with (name of project)
We've got our hands full with…
I can't see us being able to finish ….. until at least ….
Please bear with us at the moment. We should have everything sorted out by…

Informal expressions

It's manic around here.
It's like a madhouse here.
We're rushing around like headless chickens here.
