Narrative:

Apn complex hot with large force exercise. Multiple airspaces; including a temporary military operations center (MOA); with bases as low as 5;000. Building weather with deviations. First; aircraft Y was direct to apn level at 5;000. I had moved aircraft Y from nonradar conditions at 4;000 to 5;000 for an unusual departure from government tower; which I had wrongly thought (as it turns out) was departing runway 14 (he actually departed 32). Aircraft Y then progressed into the temporary MOA (5;000 to 27;000) when apn approach called (upon taking their handoff); and asked whether I was going to move him down to 4;000 to avoid the airspace. I then descended aircraft Y to 4;000. He barely entered the lateral confines at approximately 4;500.sometime around the same time; apn approach handed me aircraft X; opposite direction; at 5;000. I knew the airspace (garland MOA) was active at 6;000; but simply forgot. I may have seen the '6;000 to 23;000' associated with the MOA on the screen and used 6;000 instead of 500 to 1;000 feet below. Upon exiting apn airspace; I climbed the aircraft to 6;000; partly to avoid any potential conflict with aircraft Y going the opposite direction. Not that they were in conflict at the time; but I was busy and expected deviations from both. Aircraft X was in the airspace for at least 20 to 30 miles. I realized my mistake after the phone call about aircraft Y from apn approach. By this time; aircraft X was nearly clear; and elected to keep him there for another 5 miles until I could climb the aircraft on course.I was busy; and just lost the flick. There is no other excuse; it was probably my worse session in quite some time; other than my mistake that happened here. A d-side was provided a short while after. I should have asked for a d-side. This would have helped immensely.
