Sounds like a bad thermostat. It is easy to change unless the bolts break in the housing. If the bolts are stuck be patient, put penetrating oil on them, tap them lightly with a hammer, drive the car then repeat the process. The warming/cooling cycles of driving will help break them loose if they are stuck.

Good luck!!!
