Unhappy a/c causing engine to overheat.

If I drive my ea stationwagon without a/c the temp gauge will sit low under half way with little movements up or down from there. But when the a/c is on even on low the temp gauge will sit at about 3/4 and if its for a long drive it will creep higher and higher. Yesterday for the first time ever it breeched the normal operating temp field (just). I stopped the car at this point and turned the a/c off and then when I had sat for a little while I started off again and arrived safely at my destination. Is there anything I can do about this. I would normally think there was something amiss with the thermostat if it didn't drive perfectly with the a/c off. Any help would be appreciated.
