What does the title mean?

Anyone who knows me for any length of time will inevitably hear this phrase muttered in one of my moments of exasperation. We all have those seemingly endless "to do" lists, you know the ones - they never get done. I will be muttering to anyone who will listen (usually my innocent husband)" I have done 'a,b and c' now I have 'x,y,z' to do then on top of all that I have to turn around three times and cluck like a chicken". That's when we give each other that look and have a little chuckle, everything seems alright in the world again.
