OK, so now you need to take your DMM (digital multi meter, or regular multi meter) and see what kind of charging out put your alternator has. With the engine running your should be seeing 13.8 vDC or so. It does sound like your alternator isn't charging the battery. Could be corroded terminals or a bad regulator (try a search on alternator brushes). Replacing the voltage regulator isn't terribly difficult, but might be a tad tight in that V-8 engine bay. Remember, 10.1vDC or less will trigger the SRS light...and you keep having to jump it...sounds like you need to tend to the alternator.

Plus with all this jump starting you might start seeing the ABS MIL too. If the ABS lamp comes on be sure to check the 10 amp blade fuse on top of the OVP.
