So I dicided decided to stayed [1] at home all day.  when In the afternoon I think thought that it's not good idea and I felt a little bored.  I don't didn't know what to do .  I missed my friends in Beijing and I wanted [2] to met meet my family in our hometown.  Than Then I called the them.

[1] You are correct that this sentence needs to use the past tense.  So, why did I changed the past-tense "stayed" to the future-tense "stay"?  Because the earlier verb "decided" had already established the past tense of this sentence.  In the following sentences, the highlighted word establishes the past tense:

"I stayed at home all day."

"I decided to stay at home all day."

 

[2] A sentence should be consistent in being present tense or present tense.  Each of the following sentences is okay:

"I miss my friends and want to see my family."  (Present tense.)

"I missed my friends and wanted to see my family."  (Past tense.)

Please don't worry that I made a lot of changes to your Notebook entry.  Your meaning was always very clear.
