In this context, Captain Keller is likely using the idiom "at sixes and sevens" to describe a state of confusion or disorder. He is conveying that the household is in a constant state of chaos and disarray due to the child's presence. The phrase originates from a medieval term referring to a state of uncertainty or disarray, which aligns with the Captain's frustration.
