It sounds like it's possible that the alternator isn't charging the battery. Usually auto parts stores can test your starting/charging system for free, but make sure you have a fully charged battery for the test.

Clean the battery cables thoroughly, ensuring that you look under the plastic ends to clean there as well. It'a amazing how many electrical problems in our cars can be traced to corroded battery cables.
