Deliver me from Homework Hell

Wow, time has really flown! It's already October and the whole month of September has past without any blog posts. So sorry- but then again, you really haven't missed much. School has started with a bang for all my kids- meaning seriously bad tantrums and whining and lots of homework for my boys. As well as tantrums and whining by my boys during homework.
Why right now at this moment, I am sitting here supervising Emilio's Social Studies homework. He has spent maybe a quarter of the last hour getting something done and the rest of the time rolling around on the floor, crying, whining and shaking his arm because it hurts "so bad" from coloring a map of the southeast states.
I sat patiently for a while, being emotionally supportive and sharpening his pencils only to find that he was not coloring at all, but writing one of his limitless supply of comics beside his Social Studies book.
Then I surfed Facebook for a while, until he asked why I found it so facinating. It's not really, I told him, just mostly something to do, "mindless crap". He then wanted to know if he could set up a Facebook account, proclaiming that he, too, likes "mindless crap". Um yeah, I gathered that from the fact that you watch Chowder.
So here I sit, my life ticking by minute by minute in homework hell.
