Ginger Zee felt the struggle of long hours on the job during an early Thursday morning shift on Good Morning America while also dealing with trouble at home.
The ABC News meteorologist, 42, shared a photograph of herself looking into the camera with the NYC traffic flashing behind her on the George Washington Bridge, before the sun had even risen.
She looked more tired than usual, and confirmed just as much in her caption, writing: "Sleepy or frozen? Gorgeous sunrise as some record lows are falling across the south and coldest air of the season filters into the northeast now."
Ginger shared: "And I am definitely sleepy… little guy got sick last night and had us up late. Always so hard to leave but especially when they are feeling icky."
Ginger and her husband, fellow journalist Ben Aaron, share two sons, seven-year-old Adrian and five-year-old Miles, and it seemed like one of them wasn't doing very well.
"Hope he feels better. Too much candy???" one concerned fan wrote, to which Ginger responded: "I wish! Some sort of wheezy cough."

This is just a bit cold for you. Lol thank you for all you do. I appreciate you," and Ginger wrote back: "Hahaha I'm a baby when it comes to cold though."
However, her sons were definitely in good spirits over the weekend for the family's Halloween celebration, and Ginger revealed that this year, they'd gone all out.

The GMA star, however, found pride in being able to resourcefully cobble together their looks, using mostly material they already had and borrowed items, in a bid to lead a more sustainable life.
She wrote on Instagram after the holiday: "Proud to say our costumes were purchased second hand, borrowed or made from things we had (save one wig)… each of us took a different Tim Burton character, a medley if you will.
