what's the meaning of "I got all I can handle"?

Hi. I've been studying "Too soon a woman" by Dorothy M.Johnson, there was a sentence that I couldn't catch the meaning. "We're prid'near out of grub ," my father told her. "We're clean out of money. I got all I can handle without taking anybody else." He turned away as if he hated the sight of her. "You'll have to walk," he said.
Thanks

Hi, I am unable to accept any further tasks, such as the task of taking you. eg My boss has given me 20 different things that I must do today. I hope he doesn't try to give me another.
