I called Apple Support today, and after doing what they told me I haven't had a problem since (knock on wood!).
Try the following:
1) Shut down your MacBook and disconnect everything (including power adapter and battery)
2) Hold the power button for 10 seconds (resets something...don't remember what)
3) Put the battery back in and plug the AC adapter back in.
4) Turn on the computer and as soon as you press the power button, press in the following keys: apple, option, R, and P, and keep pressing. As soon as you turn on the computer, you normally hear the cool little apple chime. After you hear the chime, the screen will go black and act as if it's turning on again. Once the little Apple chime plays the second time, release the four keys.
Hopefully this will correct the problem. I did it about five hours ago and haven't had any problems since.
