The idioms and descriptions we use are never ending.

Yesterday was a crazy, exhausting day of son's appointments and infusions, etc. By the time we got home again, I was really tired and so was the son. When we got home and he was getting out of the car, he could hardly move, he was so wiped out. He said he was ''dog-tired, and running on empty''. (for once, we both got more than 2-3 hours of sleep!) I answered him that I felt tired out as well, and I told him I was'' ready to hit the hay.'' Anyway, it started me thinking about old sayings that we hear or use to describe how we feel sometimes. I can think of quite a few that I hear on a regular basis and even use. There are a LOT. Over the moon. Down in the dumps Fit to be tied Running on empty Weak as a kitten Hot under the collar On pins and needles In seventh heaven Face the music There are dozens and dozens of idioms and short sayings and such we hear every day, or we say ourselves. I think we hear and say some of them so much we don't even realize we say them My favorite that always makes me smile is one that my Grandma used to describe her grumpy neighbor lady who was often either mad at someone or in the process of a temper fit of some type--''She's madder than a wet hen!'' And I always wondered just how mad wet hens are? Got any favorites? Any short idioms about feelings, or life that you use on a regular basis? Picture from Pinterest.
