What things stress you out the most about Sunday morning? What things make you crazy on Sunday morning leading to angry words and confession on the way to church? Determine just three to work on today when there is no pressure.
Here are mine:
1. Have all SHOES ready. They have always disappeared on Sunday morning.
2. Have the house clean tonight. I feel a compulsion to have a clean house before we go to church. If it is not clean on Sunday morning, I want to clean it instead of getting everyone ready.
3. Talk to the kids about what the expectations are at church. Prepping them the day before is much more effective than giving them the "eye" at church.
What about you?

I do not have a compulsion to have the house cleaned on saturday night, and I don't let a messy house stop me from church. It's standard policy that sundays breakfast dishes wait until after lunch and I do both at once.
I like nails trimmed, and bodies washed, and to know that there are clean clothes to chose from. I SHOULD be more organized, but my standard as a "geo-single mom" has been lower. I guess when Scott is back things will fall into place a bit more easily.

The main thing for me is getting up at my normal week-day time if 5:55 instead of being tricked into thinking it's a "sleep-in day" since it's the weekend. Then things seem to go well.
Oh that also means not stating up late Saturday night!
Your list sounds like a great start! There is no sense in having Sunday morning be stressful since it should be the best day of the week!
