I think that maybe you just shouldn't share details about work-related stuff with your mom, especially if she isn't in the same field.
For example, when I was a project manager in the Product Development department at a big dot-com, we sometimes made decisions on the fly and then went to higher ups for "approval". That is something that my mom, having never worked in the corporate world nor in a fast-paced industry, would never have understood. Had I tried to explain it to her, she probably would not agree with such a decision, and likely would have suggested that I could be fired for it.
You may have a close relationship with your mother, but maybe you should hold back when it comes to blow-by-blow accounts of things that happen at work. Were you looking for approval when you read the email to her? Do you usually pass things by your mom before making decisions? I cannot think of any reasons to share such stuff unlesss you are looking for feedback, which she gave you.
That's just my opinion. I would have more faith in your work decisions and actions and stick by them.
