The address you use should not matter. Just indicate c/o your Mom's name on the address line

In the application process, it will be necessary in all instances to provide truthful and accurate information. It sounds like your situation will be made more complex than usual not only because you and your husband do not have conventional evidence about your residence (such as a lease or deed/mortgage) but also because your husband works out of town. There is no substitute for engaging an immigration attorney not only to assist in the preparation of the applications themselves, but also to advise you about the extensive documentation that will be needed to prove to a skeptical USCIS adjudicating officer that you and your husband genuinely are married and are "living together" in accordance with the legal definition of that term.

Use the address where you and/or your husband actually live (when he comes home where does he come) and where you receive mail. USCIS does not deliver to an address if the person listed is not actually at that address and receiving mail. An attorney would also be good for this type of situation so that a courtesy copy of all correspondence can be sent to the attorney.
