この慣用句に興味があれば、文書を作ってみますか。さぁー、どうぞ！
泡を食うis an Japanese idiom, which means that you don't know what do and be extremely in a flurry. I don't know an idiom or a work perfectly fit it in English. If you know any, please tell me. Thank you.

(... is a Japanese idiom which means that you do know what you're doing and are in a hurry. I don't know a word or idiom in English that fits it.)
"You're running around like a chicken with its head cut off" is a good expression for what you're describing, Japhy. And it's an American-English idiom.
Thank you! Will,
"You're running around like a chicken with its head cut off"
I like it.
