You have gotten a lot of good advice from this thread. I will add a few more points. I would call your mom and tell her that you feel that your conversations have been shortchanged because she calls at times when you don’t have enough time to talk. Tell her you are going to put some time on your calendar at say 5:00 or whatever time works for both of you where you can sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and have a nice conversation about your day. Then when you call focus on her for just that 15 minutes. Tell her about your day - sharing on a need to know basis - and ask her about her day and what is happening. Then at the end of the call, set the time for the next day. If she calls you during the day just text back - cant talk now - we will talk at 5:00.

Having a set time to talk will give her something to look forward to during the day.
And if you really focus on giving her the attention she is seeking she may not feel the need to call so much.
