1--A "Plate" is a dish that you put your food on. Have a lot on your plate.
2--Hey, Anna. I am having a party this weekend. You should come!
1--I wish I could. But my weekend is really busy.
2--I'm baking a wedding cake, writing my article, teaching two classes and, oh, my parents are visiting.
1--Wow, you have a lot on your plate.
2--I do.
1--To "have a lot on your plate" means that you are dealing with many responsibilities or problems at one time.
2--Imagine a plate being so full that it cannot fit any more food on it.
