Can't set homepage as static page

Hi, Not sure how I did this, but when I put home as the static front page I got a blank page that said home-2. Same thing if I tried to use home as a blog. I removed the home page from my menu so I don't have any page set for static front page or blog page. Now there is no home link on the nav bar. You can click on the logo to go back to the front page or use the back button but I'd really like to have home as a link on the nav bar. Can you figure this out for me? I hope I made sense. Thanks
