shonna,

The usual culprit is a bad thermostat, an inexpensive fix, but there are other things that could be causing the same issue.

Is your coolant tank properly topped up with antifreeze?

A collapsed radiator hose, or a plugged radiator will cause an overheating situation, as will a failed water pump (impeller broken on its shaft).

The best advice is to let a mechanic diagnose the issue. Unless your mechanic is just down the street, don't drive the car, get it towed to his location. Driving an overheating car will totally destroy the engine to the tune of $5000 or more for replacement. Good Luck!
