Narrative:

I was working aircraft X at FL370 west of boise, sebound. The aircraft had bad routing and I was waiting for flow control to give me proper routing. I was concentrating on other traffic and allowed the aircraft to enter the paradise MOA which was active FL500 and below. I turned the aircraft out of the airspace. There was no conflict with aircraft in the MOA.
