A few weeks ago my battery died out left the head lights on (brain fart) drained the battery. Got a jump start bettery was fine now every morning I have a slow crank but it will start. But in the middle of day I can drive and stop shut off engine then wait 15-30 min jump in crank it and it's fine. Is my battery not holding the charge?

yeah you may need a new battery. thats what it seems like. since apparently your alternator is charging it throughout the day and once it sits overnight its lost its charge.

Pro ViZIon is most likely right. You can take your battery into Autozone to have it tested for free.

Check the fluid level, add distiller water if it is lower: otherwise buy a new battery
