Your mother's cousin is your first cousin once removed. First cousins are the children of siblings, 2nd cousins the grand-children of siblings, 3rd cousins the great-grandchildren etc etc. The "once removed" part denotes the crossing of a generation. "Twice removed" would be crossing 2 generations (eg your grandmothers cousin).
