LMC555: How to mask the triggert

Part Number: LMC555
I am using LMC 555 as an astable multivibrator.  Although the LMC 555 ignores the trigger input while charging the capacitor, it accepts the trigger input while discharging from the capacitor and starts charging again. I would like to have the trigger ignore the input until the end of the discharge. Is there a method other than masking the trigger input?

    Are pins 2 and 6 connected together? This retriggers automatically when cap voltage is 1/3 of supply. However, you mentioned an input. So it this a cross between a monostable and astable circuit?

    Is this the goal? "Wait for a trigger input (low) then output a fixed width high output pulse then output a minimum time low pulse after which wait for trigger to be low. If it was low then do next pulse now.
