I’m so busy! Phrases to express you’re busy in Spanish

Hola everyone! And welcome to Your Daily Pinch of Spanish! 
I know, the page is not really daily, at least at the moment, but you can get your daily studies here, and that's what's important : )
I want to show you today some phrases to express that you're busy.

Let's begin!
The word for busy is: ocupado (oh-coo-pah-doh)
*The word ocupado is the masculine. The femenine form is Ocupada. If you're a girl, use ocupada; if you're a boy, use ocupado.
There is also: atareado (ah-tah-reh-ah-doh) which means busy, or rushed
*The femenine is atareada. 
Estoy ocupado - I'm busy
Etoy atareado (or atareada, in femenine) - I'm busy; I'm rushed
You can add the following words to stress your statement:
Estoy bien atareado - I'm very busy
Estoy tan ocupado - I'm so busy
Estoy súper ocupada - I'm super busy
Estoy muy atareada - I'm very busy. Or, I'm too busy
Estoy demasiado ocupado - I'm too busy

Other useful 'busy' phrases:
No puedo ahora, estoy ocupado - I can't right now, I'm too busy
Este fin de semana no puedo, es que estare ocupado - I can't this weekend, I'll be busy
Esta semana estoy muy ocupado - I'm very busy this week
