Oh, I didn't know there are this kind of forum in this homepage. It looks really helpful. When I have opportunity to talk to native speakers , I don't want to be shamed because of misunderstanding of what they say. So I keep refeating. Like I've got a lot on my plate everyday, replying Jason's forum ,studying very hard, and meeting friends etc. ( It's just imaginary situation.lol)→ Is this right sentences?

Anyway , Thank you and I'm looking forward to anther idioms.

Wow! Mr.Renshaw!!
I'm glad to see your face in your forum. Very very much!
And than, I am thankful of you for this chance to learn an idiom with your friendly face.:)
Have a lot on one's plate... I haven't heard this expression before, but you did give me this useful one.
And, you will have a lot on your plate I think, because you have to help your wife. I'm looking forward to seeing your new-born baby!!
Thanks for your tip and have a nice weekend!!

Yes, well my face is a little too large in this particular format... Hope I didn't scare you!

For my part, I'm so glad to see you exploring the forum and looking in other sections to find things to think about!

Yes, I certainly seem to have a lot on my plate right now. Although I've read everybody's essay submissions, I am now re-reading every one to get a better idea of how each student has tried and improved.

Our baby hasn't come yet, but it could be any day (or even any minute!) now. My wife has very little energy and is not very 'mobile' (our daughter Hannah is practicing her WWF wrestling moves inside the stomach), so I have to spend a lot of time with our son. I've been entertaining him with new card games to improve his English vocabulary!

I'll post a picture of our newborn as soon as she arrives!

Take care Yoonji,

~ Jason

Yeah, to be frank with you, I was moving around in your forum because I don't want to read long essays just after the end of the final exam. However, as I went around your forum, there were a lot of interest things and also instructive.

And I understand you have a lot on your plate these days, thank you for your reply. :>

Oh, I loved your expression that "our daughter Hannah is practicing her WWF wrestling moves inside the stomach". You are highly humorous!!><

P.S. Sorry for my ungrammartical sentences, I just want to express my feeling.^^

Hi Jason! It's very good to see your video in this forum. How have you been :D? I didn't know you posted these helpful video clips! I haven't heard or read this expression. In addition, your advice at the end of the video also helped me a lot. Well, I think I can apply this idiom right now. As my final exam hasn't been finished yet, I have a lot on my plate ;b
