No Rest for the Weary

Since I've gone back to work, Dexter has decided that he's not going to sleep for long 4-5 hours stretches at night anymore. Maybe he's making up for lost "mommy-time" during the day. But last night he went down for 5 hours, did a quick feeding around 12:30 and slept again until 3:45. This would have been fantastic for me except that I was plagued with nightmares where I was in the middle of the Israeli/Palestinian war in Gaza, trying to escape with Dexter. I'm guessing that this has something to do with some unresolvable internal conflict I'm experiencing lately. Balancing work and motherhood perhaps??
