There is still a list of things needing to be done.  Not major things, but still a list of things.  Mostly those small things which are pretty important, but you haven't gotten around to them yet.

I needed someone to buy things for our family dinner.  We needed some odds and ends from the store.  Both boys needed to shower.  We needed to set up tables in the garage.

We got the list made and done in short order...thanks to my family.

Praises for getting work accomplished...quickly.
