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

[asf_sa411]

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

In this context it would seem that the father has too many problems ("got all I can handle") to take on any additional responsibilities.

I'm impressed that "I got all I can handle" was the only part of that section that you had problems with. I doubt many native speakers would have actually known what "We're prid'near out of grub" means without simply guessing at the usage of "prid'near".
