  I want to make my home page my static page, but it doesn’t show up under the static page choice. The only choice I have is “about” I do have a home page. IT is published.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You need to create two pages. Read what follows please.

  The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.
  Choice 1 static front page
  Choice 2 running page for all posts on front page
  Which do you choose? It’s one or the other.
  If you choose a static front page then you have to create two pages as I said above. After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
